The e89 drives more like a lighter SL, definitely some cruiser in the genes. You can also tell by the fact that there is some trunk left when the roof is open.

However, the e89 drives a lot sportier than almost all F30 variants :D

I dunno about speed. My 28i is insanely fast given the light body and low on extras.

Yeah but no trunk left and even the bench behind the seats is gone for all practical purposes. And the waistline is very high, with the roof closed it feels like looking out of a bunker.

Lighten up Lux. If you just wants to see posts right on topic, this would not have a lot of discussion or anything for that matter. It would just say 1 year, 2 years etc. rather boring I would say.

But if that constitutes your forum enjoyment of seeing statistics and superficial posts directly relating to the exact subject :tumbleweed:
Current:
911-50 Black - unique spec
X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo

Piss poor today mate and your fans were singing anti-Lambert stuff.

Well justified IMO. We can't score goals and we send our £24 million striker (ok a few years ago) out on loan!?

Had mine since August 2014 a very good used buy . Still miss some of the features of my previous e 85 but couldn't keep both .
Still great to own so won't be changing in a hurry. Haven't heard about any production cease as yet ?.
